It is actually very easy for two people who are not familiar with each other to sit down and eat together.
It's just that Mingyue is a very lively person. As soon as she saw Wang Liyan, she started chatting with Wang Liyan, which made Wang Liyan's nervous mind relax.
And hot pot is cooked while eating, which gives you more free time to talk.
As they chatted, the two of them became more familiar with each other.
"By the way, do you get an internal discount for decoration? I heard Brother Li say that his family is going to give him a loan to buy a house locally, and then he will let you do the decoration. It's just that his family has the final say, and the house is written Name." As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyue quickly stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, shouldn't I say this?"
This was really not Mingyue's nonsense, it was Lao Zhao who secretly said it to Mingyue. Lao Zhao also secretly scolded Li Jinbao for being too busy at home.
The smile on Wang Liyan's face suddenly became a little forced.
In fact, she didn't like Li Jinbao who was too strong, and was even a little afraid. After all, if he attacked her, she would have no power to fight back.
It's just that her family thinks Li Jinbao is a good person, and at her age it's time to get married, and she doesn't know how to say no, so she keeps in touch with him.
Now after hearing Mingyue's words, Wang Liyan suddenly felt a knot in her heart.
Women in the new society are not fools. According to the current marriage law, the man buys a house and asks the woman to decorate it. This is a calculation in itself.
What's more, the house still bears the man's mother's name.
This is simply an obvious way of treating people as if they are fools!
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Liyan mustered up the courage to ask: "Mingyue, what kind of person do you think Li Jinbao is?"
Mingyue blinked her eyes and said sincerely: "To be honest, he is not worthy of you. You may not know, Brother Li...he is just a mama's boy. His mother always talks about it when he talks, Everything must be done according to his own ideas. And, as you can see from his name, his family is very patriarchal.”
Speaking of this, Mingyue shook her head again and sighed: "You are a designer, you earn more money than him, you know more people than him, and your future development is better than him. Who do you think can't see that you are living a good life? Why? Just introduced him to you?”
Wang Liyan listened and frowned more and more.
No wonder her aunt, who had always been at odds with her mother, would kindly introduce her to someone, and it turned out that the person she introduced turned out to be this kind of person.
They also said that Li Jinbao was honest and obedient, had a stable and easy job, and would be happy if he married her.
Thinking that her aunt was always praising Li Jinbao in various ways these days and urging her to settle down with Li Jinbao, she felt sick to her stomach.
If what Mingyue said was true, wouldn't the Li family be a huge fire pit
But... thinking of Li Jinbao, who has been relatively honest these days, Wang Liyan is a little hesitant.
After all, she and Ming Yue had only known each other for a short time. How could she be sure that what Ming Yue said was true
Of course Mingyue also saw her hesitation, and immediately changed the subject with a smile: "By the way, I want to adopt a retro style for the milk tea shop, and the milk tea cups also use special printed cups, including..."
Some things are better left to the point at which they are discussed. It would be too deliberate to emphasize them all the time.
Hearing Mingyue mentioning business, Wang Liyan had to suppress all those suspicions in her heart, and managed to cheer up and reply: "Okay, have you thought about the name of the store? Actually now..."
Then the two of them chatted for a while while eating.
Wang Liyan obviously took Mingyue's words to heart and answered questions absent-mindedly several times. Seeing that her goal was achieved, Mingyue finished her meal, paid the bill, and separated from Wang Liyan.
Wang Liyan rushed to pay the bill, but Mingyue refused. After all, she was the one who made the date!
And Mingyue didn't lie, she really wanted to study at night.
*
In the next few days, Mingyue chatted with Wang Liyan every day.
Sometimes it’s small talk, and sometimes it’s about decoration.
The shop next to the school, Mingyue, has been rented, and the decoration has been decided by Heiqi Space Decoration Co., Ltd. The designer, of course, chose Wang Liyan.
Not to mention other things, Wang Liyan still has some talents and real materials in design. Mingyue likes every suggestion she makes.
The two of them seemed to get along better and better as they chatted, and the more they got to know each other, the more likely they became, so Wang Liyan believed in Mingyue's words more and more.
So within a few days, Mingyue heard Lao Zhao say that Li Jinbao's affairs were about to be blown, and his daughter looked down on him and was unwilling to do so.
Old Zhao curled his lips and shook his head: "Li Jinbao is really bad, and he is too stingy. In the past two days, he has been chasing his daughter for money, saying that since he didn't agree, he would take all the free food and drinks. Give it back to him."
This time Mingyue did not listen to Lao Zhao, but chose to ask Wang Liyan directly.
Anyway, she occasionally had to keep an eye on the decoration of the milk tea shop, and spent more and more time with Wang Liyan.
Wang Liyan said with a wry smile: "I thought what you said was an exaggeration before, but I just tested it and found that what you said was quite light. That day, Li Jinbao and I... "
It turned out that after listening to Mingyue's words, Wang Liyan felt a knot in her heart.
Then when having dinner with Li Jinbao, she would always ask about Li Jinbao's family affairs intentionally or unintentionally.
In the past, she was embarrassed to talk about these things, always thinking that she would know it later. However, something happened when she asked, because Li Jinbao always talked about what my mother did.
It's as if Mother Li is in charge of the Li family. Mother Li has to decide how many bowls of rice to eat at a meal.
When Wang Liyan tentatively mentioned the house, the bride price, and the banquet again, Li Jinbao changed his expression again. While criticizing her for asking for the bride price, she was selling her daughter. At the same time, he said that his mother said that the house would be bought, but the Wang family had to decorate it, otherwise it would be sold. Daughter, as for the money collected from the banquet, of course I have to take it back to the Li family.
In a word, all the benefits must go to the Li family, otherwise the Wang family will sell their daughter.
As for whether to have a boy or a girl after marriage, that is even more ridiculous.
Li Jinbao said that his family is a single generation of three generations, and he must have a son. Only by having a son can the family continue to have a good family life. If a daughter is born in their hometown and cannot even lift her head, she will be looked down upon by everyone.
Thinking of the dinner that day, Wang Liyan still has a lump in her throat. Even the Qing Dynasty has died. No one has their feet bound, but some people still have their cerebellums bound!
And after she said that the two people had different views and were not suitable to be together, something even more funny happened. Li Jinbao took out a consumption list.
In the list, she even asked her to reimburse the fare for him to take a taxi to come to her for dinner. He also said that he would not spend the money if he didn't come to her. What's more, he even included a bottle of mineral water that he bought for her on weekdays. It was true that she I was speechless.
Coupled with the fact that her aunt called her all day long to scold her for being ignorant and too picky, Wang Liyan was going crazy these days.
When Mingyue asked, Wang Liyan couldn't help but complain.
